Given points (r1, u1 ) and (r2, u2) in polar coordinates, obtain a general formula for the distance between them. Simplify it as

much as possible using the identity cos2 u 1 sin2 u 5 1. Hint: Write the expressions for the two points in Cartesian coordinates and substitute into the usual distance formula.

Answer:

  d=\sqrt{r_1^2+r_2^2-2r_1r_2\cos(u_2-u_1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines gives an immediate result. No translation to Cartesian coordinates is necessary. That law makes use of the angle between the vectors, u2-u1

  d^2=r_1^2+r_2^2-2r_1r_2\cos(u_2-u_1)\\\\\boxed{d=\sqrt{r_1^2+r_2^2-2r_1r_2\cos(u_2-u_1)}}

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1 hour and 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

While carrying her fancy 360-degree camera, a crew artist Sarah Jane can walk at a rate of 2 miles per hour.

We are asked to determine the time required by Sarah to walk to a place that is 3 miles away from her.

Since Sarah can walk at a rate of 2 miles per hour.

Hence, she walks 3 miles in \frac{3}{2} hours i.e. 1 hour and 30 minutes.  (Answer)

{Here we have used the unitary method assuming that Sarah walks at a constant rate}
